AUGUSTA, Jan. 4.-The Democratic State
Committee met at the Cony House tonight.
They all say that it was a very harmonious
meeting. David r. Hastings of Fryeburg,
was elected chairman, and w. w, Sanborn
Of Lewiston, treasurer. But the Hon. S. S.
Brown has not been put aside by any means.
There is an executive committee of five and
of that he is the chairman. His associates
are VIM. Emery of the First Congressional
District; r. d. Hastings of the Second
Charles Baker of the Third, and S. W..
Knowlton of the Fourth. This committee
will meet in Portland January 18TH By
this new arrangement Mr.. Brown will not
rank SO high in Democratic circles, but his
power as undiminished and he will be as po-
tential is ever in the management of the
Democratic party of the State.

The Black Faced Sheep of Dexter.

The old black-faced sheep, which has been
the subject of prolonged legal contest in
the small-bore court at Dexter, is now to be
led into the halls of justice in this city, on
appeal. The old sheep is said to be worth
from $3.50 to $500, and the misguided people
who are fighting it out on the line of replevin,
trespass, SANDER ETC., all for the benefit of
the lawyers, should they drop the thing
where it is, will have to pay one or two hum
dred dollars in expenses. 1t is understood
that the counsel on both sides now advise a
settlement and it is not to be wondered at.
They probably don't care to come to Bangor
in connection with such ridiculous case.
